I hadn't planned on posting again this soon, but then, at the eleventh hour (which is when the eleven lords like to leap around), while I was doodling around in my journal, I realized...
Hey, leapin' lizards, it's leap day - this date comes around less often than a blue moon - it won't come around again for another four years! So why not, go ahead and, you know - leap for it~
Does anyone remember - does that make this Sadie Hawkins' Day? Does anyone remember Sadie Hawkins' Day dances? Or does anyone even celebrate that anymore?
Just wondering...
For a day that only comes around once every four years, it seems like we should do something a little extra to celebrate it - to give us all a reason to leap for joy. Or maybe take a vow to make a leap of faith of some sort...maybe that would end up giving a reason to leap for joy...
though it's so late in the day now, maybe it's time to just leap into bed and call it a night...
Happy Leap Year~
Even though leap day may be over by the time you read this, it's leap year all year long, so feel free to leap in with a comment, any time :)
I feel a little silly leaping in and out of my monitor like this, but I guess if everyone else can do it so can I. I do remember Sadie Hawkins day/dances but I never went to one and I don't even know who Sadie Hawkins is/was?? Is that her in your sweet drawing?
Wait....I think I'm stuck trying to leap out of here.......will you please come down off that ceiling fan and give me a little a little push.

I felt the leap year thing was pretty special too and did some fun...take the leap...kind of journal pages.
Hope you lept in a good direction :)

What a lovely figure you've drawn here!
She's leapt out of the monitor at me in her saffron gladrags.

Leaping in late as always! I remember Sadie Hawkins dances at school. And I agree that for something that happens only once every four years we should do something special. So I'm leaping!! Oops, forgot to put on my bra and now I have black eyes! Thanks, Tinker!!

Dear Tinker Bella,
Yes to Leaping into something new, or that I feel fear of! Thanks for this great drawing to remind me. I've got it in my head. Today I'm going to do something I must be brave to do. I will take this image with me in my head. Thank you very much!

When we made the transition to the Gregorian calendar, we had to leap over ten days at once.
I'm not sure I'd have had the energy...

Thought I'd leap on over and see what's up! I don't remember us having Sadie Hawkins Dances (although I know what they are). Funny, I new it was leap year yet I seemed to just leap on over the day without mentioning it. It must be my mind that seems to leap from one thing to the other these days.....perhaps that's a residual affect of leaping? the mind follows?
OK, that's enough saying the word leap....I'll end with a different one.
LOVE,
Lisa
XOXOXO

I remember Sadie Hawkins. We had a Sadie Hawkins Dance when I went to high school in Idaho (as opposed to my high school in Oregon, or the one in California). I asked a boy to it and it was a great dance but the boy turned out to be a jerk. THAT'S what I remember.
